She desired them to account for their behaviour, and Prior told her that her husband (Dodd) had broken into Mr. Prince's premises, and. amongst other things had stolen a quantity of knives and forks. They then went nut of the house, telling her to send her husband to the watch-house di rectly he came in. In his defence Prior said that a man named Prince came to the station-house at Pimlico, and said that Dodd had broken into his house, and had stolen a quantity of knives and forks, some of which he had since seen on Dodd's premises. Ser geant Thatcher desired him to apprehend Dodd and search the premises. He accordingly went to the house for that purpose, believing Prince's statement to be correct. The.other defendant said he went with Prior, and had no idea that he was doing any wrong. Mr. WHITS censured in the strongest terms the practice of searching a man's house in this way. Nothing, in his opinion, could be more reprehensible. By such acts the police made themselves the tools of wicked and designing persons. If such a system were to be countenanced they might be led away, as in the present instance, by any person who entertained malice towards another, or wished to do him an injury. Nctbing could more wound an honest man's feelings than having his dwelling invaded in this a. Applications ought always to be made to the magistrates, and, if they saw any necessity, a search warrant would be granted. Mr. GREGORIE was decidedly of opinion that the constables had no right to search the house, but considered that Garin had acted under the control of the other constable. As it was not imputed-to Prior that he was actuated by any malice he should only convict him in the penalty of 10s. Gavin would be dischated. INFORMATIONS AGAINST TILE " PAUL PRY."—Edward Hathway; a newsvendcr, residing in York -street, Westn:tin ster, was yesterday charged with publishing and dispersing a publication called the Paul Pry, that publication not having the name of the printer on the first and last page. The information was laid by Stowel, the common informer, under the 29th of Geo. 111., cap, 79. Gooch, the informer's witness; proved buying a cop; of the Paul Pry, at defendant's shop on Saturday, the 29th ult. He was served by a female. Tarrant confirmed this' witness's testimony, and added that he had frequently seen defendant in the shop acting as master- A Solicitor who attended for the defendant submitted that the information was defective. It there stated Paul Pry, when in point of fact the copy produced was of a separate work, bearing the head of Paul Pry, Esq. Mr. GREGORY did not think this an available objection. The name was correct at all events. The Solicitor then submitted that newspapers were not bound to have the printer's name on the first page, and he considered the work before them decidedly a newspaper. Mr. GREGORY was of a different opinion. It was clearly anything but a newspaper. The Solicitor begged to observe that, admitting this not to be a newspaper, it was only one number, and part of a work, and it would be seen that most of the articles were " to be continued." When the whole of the book was complete at the end of the year, the printer's name would be on the first page. He also had another objection. The defendant did not sell the copy, nor was he present at the time it was sold. Mr. GREGORIE thought that it was a work in itself coming within the meaning of the statute, and as regarded the latter objection, said defendant was liable for the acts of his servants. Defendant was then convicted in the penalty of 51., a ques tion as to is bother the Magistrates had a right to bear and de termine being reserved for judicial opinion.

JONES AND OTHERS. Lord LyNnnunsr stated that this was an appeal from the Court of Chancery. It appeared that some years since tn•o persons named Evans and Jelf carried on business as bankers at Cheltenham, that a Mr. Donovan had an account with them, and was indebted to them in a considerable sum of money. They became bankrupts, and the respondents were appointed assignees. Mr. Donovan died after the bankruptcy' had taken place, and left a will, by which he devised certain property for the payment of his debts, and then further de vised certain estates to trustees on trusts specified in the will. The creditors had applied for settlement of their claims, but had been informed that the affairs of the testator were not then arranged, and they therefore waited till that arrange ment should have taken place. After a considerable lapse of time they found that the personal estate was not sufficient for the payment of the debts, and then it was discovered that the subject of • the devise treated in the will as real estate was net, in fact, real estate, but was only leasehold, and was, therefore, liable to the payment of the testator's debts. They then filed a bill to obtain payment from that property, as the property of the testator, always recognised as his personal property, was insufficient to meet their claims. The executors and trustees under the will put in an answer setting up the statute of limitations as a defence. The cause was heard before the Master of the Rolls, who held that to be a sufficient answer to the bill, which he, therefore, dismissed. The cause was taken by appeal before the Lord Chancellor. claim l waabfini.ttod who, ehur tgt thhahh i ene n et dgobc F uyret eheeobasedmtprri creditors r nefrouas z 0 , hdi, ) I .:: : fiih 3 st)feir iie,orrytrtyLhehceevicoaserrurrdsfills fund. treated uidcps t ise h t:e a tndoa t Hgnoce d edor e i netwcwhsi fund s s i edus i oegnaonrdrrf. ground opinionuannes: dy,td whether, fnsh a s el: : t ail i h b3ee i iisrtre n : to . them, and had allowed the executors and trustees to deal n they could not, and he, therefore, moved that the judgment of the Master of the Rolls be restored, and that of the Lord Chancellor be reversed. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, Aria. 15. William Hodge was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Moore, at Manchester, on the 19th of June last. Joseph Moore deposed that he was the husband of the de ceased, who was in the habit of going to the Chorlton market with vegetables for sale, belonging to Mr. Charlton. She conducted the sales, and on her return in the evening she ac counted with Mr. Charlton for the amount. On the 19th of June she left home for that purpose, but not returning at the usual hour an alarm was excited, and a search was set on foot. Her body was brought home the next day. Her private pocket, whish she wore at her side, contained a little money, but her market pocket, which she wore, in front, ard in which she deposited the money she received for Mr. Charl ton, was empty. Lydia Hodgson deposed that she lives in Chorlton. and was in the market on Tuesday, the 19th of June, about eight o'clock in the morning. The deceased was there. She re ceived a good deal of money, among the rest some half crowns and some shillings. She called at the house of the wit ness about a quarter past twelve o'clock, and remained till about a quarter before one. She was then on her way home. The witness paid her half-a-crown, seven shillings, and four. pence in copper. This she put in Is hat she called her master's pocket. The witness heard the money rattle in the pocket as the deceased went up the steps to go home. She had a reti cule basket with her, in which she put two jugs she had pur chased from the witness. James Mees—ls resident in Moss-lane, and _knew the late Mrs.'Moore. He was in his shop on the 19th of June, and had occasion to look at his watch. It was then two o'clock ; but the watch was about twenty minutes fast at noon when the factory bell rang. He walked out immediately after into the lane, and was overtaken by the deceased. He said, " Well, Mary, how are you ?" To which she replied, " Middling ; how are you, master ?" He asked how the markets had been that day, and she said th ey were very f air, that gooseberries were 3d. per quart. They walked on a little way together, and she then bid him good by. She walked fast, and sh mid have reached her own home in about twenty minutes from the time she parted from Mees—that was about two o'clock by the day. John Brundett, a brother-in-law of the deceased, went on Wednesday, the 28th of June, to assist in the search for her. Among other places he was engaged in searching was a field belonging to Thomas Eason, which lies on the side of Moss lane, directly opposite the road turning down to Mr. Charl ton's. His attention was attracted by the circumstance of the grass being much trodden down about a pool in the field, and there was the mark of some heavy body having been pushed along the grass down to the water's edge. Finally, at a few yards distance he found the body of the unfortunate woman lying in a ditch at a lower level than the pool, and in which there was a considerable quantity of water. Her head bore the mark of a severe blow on the left side behind the ear and towards the crown. Her bonnet, cap, and a flannel which she wore round her head, hung at the back of her neck. Her market pocket was empty. On cross-examination he said the grass round the pond was much trampled, as if many people had been there. It bore no traces of a body having been dragged from the lane to wards the pit. There is a footpath across the field, which passes near the pit, and leads to Mr. Eason's House. It is also sometimes used, by way of trespass, by persons going to Chorlton. I 3 IRMINGHAM and DERBY JUNCTION RAILWAY. TENDERS FOR LOANS.

The LTIVDER-SHERIFF put it to the Jury whether they thought the witness (who had evidently been drinking) was in a fit state to be examined. Witness protested against his own incompetency—he had spoken nothing but the truth, and nothing but the truth should come out of his mouth. " Whatever," observed one of the professional men engaged, " may have gone into it." The ascends ncy— Jury deeming th a t t h e li quor had not gained the The witness went on to say that he had been paid seven farthings per ton for delivering the stone, which was 32 tons. He thought the value of the stone was about 108. per ton, as that was the amount a cowkecper had paid for similar mate rials, with which to pave a cow-yard, in a place called King David-lane.

Prisoner— I got them from a man named Mason. Mr. TRAILL--.Who is he, and where does he live?

ROBBERY IN THE LONDON DOCK.—Yesterday John Bill, a tall young man, of respectable exterior, was brought before Mr. BALLANTINE and Mr. BRODERIP, for final examination, on a charge of stealing two pints and a quarter of brandy and a pint of wine, the property of the London Dock Company. For the defence it was insinuated that the prisoner's fellow clerks had deposited the bottles in the secret cupboard from motives of revenge. Mr. BALLANTYNE said he could not believe the witnesses had been atrocious enough to place the bottles in the prisoner's desk, because he had spoken of them in terms of satire and ridicule.

Witness —No, no; you don't know anything about rag ballast, big ballast, rumblings, Groby, and river ballast. The ballast as you speak of is East Ingee, and that will fetch 12s. a ton. Juror—l mean, was it taken out of the bed of the river?— Witness lifted up his eyes in astonishment at this question, and turning round to a friend at his side gave him a look which a man-of-war's man would infallibly have translated into a phrase of superlative wonderment. Juror—And what did you pay for the ballast? " That," said the witness, with a simile betokening pride and superior knowledge, "is another thing.' Have the kindness to tell the Court how much you paid.— Nothing. Why they pay us for it. Pay you I What, for the ballast that you buy ?—We don't buy it—they give . it us. Then how do they pay you for it?—Why they pay us to take it away.

Were there any as large as your head ?—To be sure there were. A witness for the defence on being asked the same ques tion by the same Juror, answered, " They are seldom so large as that."

In this case Miss Wood, who li ves in George-street, Adel phi, sought to recover from a female named Saville, the sum of 71. for board and lodging. The defendant had pleaded that the board and lodging were for and in furtherance of an im moral purpose—viz., prostitution. Mr. Jones having stated the facts of the case out of which the pl a i nt iff' s claim arose, proceeded to call t he plaintiffs servant, w h o h av i ng in her crlss-examination by Mr. Phillips, stated she believed the pl a i n tiff to be a married woman, it was, after a short consulta tion between the Learned Counsel, agreed to withdraw a Juror, by which arrangement each party will have to pay her own costs. STIFP V. COLE. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 41. 65., the amount of damages done to the plaintiff's carriage by a servant of the defendant. The plaintiff a livery stable-keepe r i n Quebec-mews, is Portman-squafe, and the defendant is the Hemel Hempstead and London carrier. A collision between the vehicles took place, and the question turned upon which party was on the right side of the road. The U N DER-.SHERIFF summed up, and the Jury found for the plaintiff for 4/. 6s. WESTMINSTER SESSIQNS._AUG. 16. The calendar contains the names of 132 prisoners, of whom only 37 were to be tried for felonies. The Governor o f t h e B r id ewe ll , Tothill-fields, reported that the prison contained 442 ma l e an d f emale prisoners, and eight c hildren. They were generally healthy and well-conducted. The grand jury being sworn were briefly addressed by the learned Ch ai es rman, and immedi a t e l y proceeded to the discharge of their duti. John Martin, aged 52, was indicted for stealing four printed books, value 30s. the property of Joseph Colkin Lovell and another. The prisoner, on being called upon to plead, stated in very excellent French that he was a Frenchman, and was de sirous of having the charge and evidence properly interpreted to him. The CuAramax said if that really was the case, an interpre ter must be found, when Lieutenant Tracey, the governor of the prison where Mar tin was confined, stepped forward and stated, that the pri soner had been con fi ned i n Tothill-fields for twenty d ays , during which time he spoke English fluently, and understood it very well. The case then proceed e d, and Mr. Joseph Lovell stated that on the 28th of J u l y last the ' prisoner came to his shop in Marl borough-street, and h av i ng entered into conversation with him, he perceived the prisoner lift the books from the ledge of the counter on whi c h they were placed, and bel i ev i ng that he in tended to run away with them, he immediately seized him and gave him into custody. He then pleaded distress as the cause of what he had done. When c a ll ed upon. for his defence, the prisoner urged that the proceedings against him were conducted in a language of which he was ignorant, and protested that his object in going into the prosecutor's shop was not to steal the books, but to request the ass i stance of his compatriot to assist him to get back to France. The CHAIRMAN, in stating the evidence to the jury, ob served that th e offence of stealing did not require an absolute ;eking away of the property alleged to be stolen, as the very a ct of diQpla c i ng it with a felonious intent would be quite suf- The jury rrturned a venlict of CNilty, aid the pri , onei wag sent'! , .'ccd to ;r:l l .i.o;r - %eht nrd lab"' :11 of which thiec weeks were to be in solitary confin ement. The CHAIRMAN (to the prisoner)—You have been here bQ. William Lee assisted the last witness to get the body out of the ditch. It lay on the back when discovered. The market pocket was empty ; but in the private purse was a hanker chief, a purse, two half-crowns, and four shillings. On cross-examination he stated, that on the Tuesday he was at work in Moss-lane, from ten o'clock till twelve. There were four strange men in the lane for about an hour that fore noon, playing at pitch and toss. They were close to the turn to Mr. Charlton's. Mary Bageley saw the body when brought out of the field, and it remained in her custody till morning. The cap, bon net, and flannel were covered with mud and weeds, and there were several small holes in them corresponding to certain cuts on the head of the deceased. She laid out the body next day. The left hand lay down by her side, was firmly clenched, and held a quantity of grass. The right hand was also clenched, and raised up towards the head. After the evidence of Samuel Dale and others had been taken, that of Mr. Oilier, the surgeon, was given, He said he examined the body. The death was caused by an exten sive fracture of the skull, so severe as to drive portions of the bone into the brain. The blow had evidently btea received from behind, and sufficient instantaneously to extinguish life. It would not be possible for the band to be clenched in the mode described after the receiving of such an injury. Mr. WILKINS addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and called a witness to contradict Eleanor Bageley as to the hour when she was upon the road, where she declared she met the prisoner. It also appeared that Morgan had, when flu st questioned on the subject, mentioned only the four men whom' he met in Moss lane, without saving anything of the prisoner. Mr. STARKIE, for the prosecution, replied. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said that the jury would pro. bably be satisfied that on the present occasion murder had been committed by some one, but the more important question was, whether or not that crime was the crime of the prisoner at the bar? The evidence on that point was entirely circum stantial ; and to enable them to bring in a verdict of guilty, it was necessary not only that it should be a rational conclusion fern the circumstances laid before them in evidence, but that it should be the only rational conclusion which those circum stances would enable them to draw. In applying their minds, too, to this subject, it was necessary to warn then against the danger of being misled by a train of circumstantial evi dence. The mind is apt to take a pleasure in adapting these circumstances to one another, and even straining them a little, if need be, to force them to form parts of one connected whole. The more ingenious, indeed, the mind of the indi vidual, the more likely it is, in considering such matters, to overreach and mislead itself, to supply some little link that is wanting, to take for granted some fact consistent with its previous theories, and necessary to render them complete. To illustrate this by an instance from the present case bow prone would we be, locking on the one hand to the circumstances connected with the woman's death, and, on the other, to those connected with the attempted concealment of the money, to join the two together by ourselves supplying the fact that that money was the money of Mary Moore. Of that, however, we must have proof ; proof sufficient is already stated, not only to make that a rational conclusion, but the only rational conclusion which the facts will enable us to draw. His Lord ship then went minutely through the case, classifying the tes timony of the witnesses—first as regarded the supposed Previous declaration of the prisoner ; secondly as to his hav ing been seen in the immediate neighbourhood at the time when the crime was committed ; thirdly, as to his hiding the money ; and, fourthly, as to his d en i a l s o f h av i ng b een e i ther at Moss-l ane or Toon's-field. The Jury, after a short consultation, brought in a verdict of Not Guilty. icien . POLICE INTELLIGENCE. DIARYLEB . A COUN TRYMAN IN LONDON...—, Yesterday John Whittaker, a young man well known to the police, was placed at the bar before Mr. Hoskins, charged with having, by stratagem, ob tained a 51. note, and a change of linen, the property of Mr. Wm. Rashaw, a farmer of Hooknorton, Oxfordshire, who had come to London on business It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and another sharper fell in with the prosecutor at the public-house where he put up a t P a ddi ngton . After a long political discussion the subject turned u'on the various devi ces put in prac tice ty the London thieves and sharpers to entrap th e un wary, at the conclusion of which the prisoner and his con fedei ate, with much apparent zeal and friendship, exhorted the prosecutor to take especial care that he was not taken in. In the course of the conversation the pros ecutor di sclosed his name and address, hinting that if he wanted a five-pound . note or so during his stay town he had only to write to his wife, and she would remit it to him. The sharpers profiting by this intimation, resolved to , be bef ore h and with him, and having fabricated the farmer s signature to a letter requesting that a 51. note and a change of linen might be immediately forwarded to the William the Fourth, Exeter -street, Liston grove, they directed it to the farmer's wife and despatched it by post, The good lady lost no time in complying with what she supposed to be her husband's request, and a parcel con taining the property a b ove specified, was sent off and safely arrived at its place of destination, from whence it was fetched away by the prisoner, who assumed the prosecutor's name. The farmer on reaching home was asked by his wife if he had received the parcel safe, and she learned with surprise that lie had n o t on l y never received it, but that he had never written, and pronounced the letter to be a forgery. He then posted back to London and gave such information to the police as enabled them to capture the prisoner with the parcel in his possession, not having had sufficient time to dispose of it. The prop erty having been identified by the prosecutor, the prisoner was remanded to afford time to apprehend his con federate, who is said to be a cab-driver. Q UEEN- S QUAR E.
